Chronicles of Celestial Origins

In the meeting hall in the city, Tang Ning went up and took a seat; "Since the great gods have decided on the master of the Northern Territory, you don't need to stay here for a long time. You can all go back to your places!"

"Yes." Meng Yuan was the first to respond, while the others remained silent.

"What? You don't want to go back? You want to stay in Fenghua City for the rest of your life. If so, I will immediately report to the great gods and ask you all to stay in Fenghua City and send others to take over your original jurisdiction."

Tang Ning saw that except for Meng Yuan, everyone else was dissatisfied. The silence at this time was undoubtedly another form of resistance. Of course, he would not condone this situation. He was just trying to make a big deal out of a tiger's skin. This happened often. Otherwise, others will only despise him even more in the future, so they will question him harshly.

"That's not what we meant. Since the envoy asked us to go back, I will leave for Qianyuan City today." Zimo was the first to respond.

Several other people also responded.

"Meng Yuan, you are now the Lord of the Northern Territory. After returning to the Northern Territory City, your first priority is to stabilize people's hearts. Duzhen has been in charge of the Northern Territory for many years, and there must be some close confidants. It would be fine if these people are honest. , If they dare to cause trouble, they will all be executed."

"Secondly, we must pay close attention to the situation in the Eastern, Southern, and Western Territories. Such a big change has occurred in the Northern Territory. If the news spreads to the masters of other regions, it will inevitably cause an uproar, especially the news that the great gods have personally come to the world of the dead. Those who The rebels will be filled with fear.”

"It cannot be ruled out that they unite to fight against the great god. This matter is not without precedent. Many years ago, they had dealt with the great god's messenger Nether King in this way."

"Once you discover that they are colluding, you must report it to the great god immediately."

"I still say the same thing, as long as you are loyal to the great god, the benevolent god of death will not make things difficult for you. But if someone is stubborn and has evil intentions, there will be only death in the end..."

Tangning spoke a lot of righteous words and finally said, "You can leave, Xiangkong, please stay for a while."

Several people stood up and left. Xiangkong said coldly: "What else does the envoy have to say?"

"They can return to their respective territories, but you have to stay in Fenghua City."

"Why?"

"This is the decree of the great god. The great god is temporarily staying in Fenghua City because he has important matters to deal with and needs someone around him who can be useful," Tangning replied.

Of course, this was just an excuse. The reason why he wanted to keep Xiang Kong was to avoid the intensification of conflicts.

Among the few people, the competition between him and Meng Yuan for the lord of the Northern Territory is the most intense. Now that Meng Yuan has become the lord of the Northern Territory City, Xiang Kong is the one who is most unconvinced. If he returns to his territory, Bao Buqi will lead his subordinates to fight against Meng Yuan. .

If Meng Yuan wanted to give orders to him, it would be impossible.

As a result, the conflicts between the two sides will accumulate and deepen, which may lead to internal war.

"Please let me know how long I need to stay here."

"When the matter with the great god is finished, you can return to your own territory."

"I wonder what it is?"

"Is this what you should know? Do you have to report the secrets of the great gods to you?" Tangning scolded unceremoniously: "Xiang Kong, you'd better understand that the great gods will forgive your aggression and will not hold you accountable. Responsibility, allowing each of you to return to the territory and continue to serve is its kindness and grace, and it is not what it should be. If you don't position yourself correctly, Du Zhen will serve as a lesson to you.

Xiang Kong remained silent.

"Go ahead! You are not allowed to leave Fenghua City without permission before you get permission. If you have something important to do, you must report to me first."

Xiang Kong stood up and left without saying a word.

The next day, Meng Yuan and others left Fenghua City one after another and returned to their respective territories.

………

After the Northern Territory was pacified, life in Fenghua City was naturally as peaceful as water.

Tang Ning worked hard to cultivate her magical powers every day, day after day, month after month.

In the spacious hall, a huge clock gradually turned into reality. A black pointer appeared on it, pointing directly at twelve o'clock. At this time, the entire space was frozen. There was only a soft click, and the pointer began to rotate. , jumping clockwise from the twelve o'clock position to the one o'clock position.

As the pointer jumped, the space in the hall that was fixed by black light collapsed visibly to the naked eye, and black cracks emerged like earthworms.

Tangning quickly put away her magical power, and the giant clock behind her gradually disappeared after a tremor.

The space that was about to collapse finally regained its stability. He stood up and wiped the sweat from his forehead, taking a long breath, with an uncontrollable look of joy on his face.

He has been practicing this death knell power for hundreds of years. Today, he finally mastered it and successfully used it. The power it displayed did not live up to his expectations. If he hadn't stopped in time, he would have waited for the pointer to complete one movement. Circle, return to the twelve o'clock position, and the terrifying power of the supernatural power is completely released.

This magical power also consumes a huge amount of spiritual power. It is very difficult for him to cultivate at present. It was just a small test, and less than half of the spiritual power in his body has been consumed. This is the reason why he stopped using the magical power.

If it were fully deployed, the spiritual power in his body might not be able to support it.

After years of hard work in cultivating his magical power, he had finally achieved some success. He felt extremely happy, as if a block that had been pent up in his chest had fallen to the ground.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside. After the stone door opened, a ghost general came in and saluted: "Your Majesty, King Meng Yuan has sent someone to see you for something important. He is waiting outside now."

"Send him in."

"Yes." The ghost general left in response. Not long after, an undead creature in the middle stage of integration came in from the outside and respectfully saluted: "I pay homage to the King of Messengers. Under the orders of King Meng Yuan, Huan Xing of Beiyu City, I have something important to report.”

"Tell me! What's the matter?"

"There are rumors that the lords of the Eastern Region, the Southern Region, and the Western Region have met in the Southern Region City, with the purpose of targeting the Northern Region. At the same time, the personnel of these three regions have been mobilized frequently, and they may raise troops to come to our Northern Region." The ghost general pulled out a sentence The black paper scroll was presented with both hands: "This is a letter written by King Meng Yuan himself."

Tangning took it and took a look: "I understand, you should go and rest first!"

The ghost general left in response, and he immediately came to the main hall where the girl in white lived. When he saw Aguda coming out of the house, the two met head on.

Aguda stood up and bowed respectfully to him: "Greetings to the envoy."

"You're back. Long time no see. Where were you?"

Aguda left here when Du Zhen led his troops to attack Fenghua City. His whereabouts are unknown. It has been nearly a year now. Tang Ning only knew that he was doing something on the order of the girl in white. When he left, he also I didn't say hello to him, and I was a little surprised to meet him suddenly.

"Lord Messenger, I went to the Western Regions on the order of the supreme god of death."

"Western Region? What are you doing there?"

"This... the great god sent me to investigate something." Aguda suddenly started hesitating.

Seeing that he was hesitating and not answering directly, Tang Ning guessed that the girl in white had told her to keep the matter a secret, and he didn't know whether to tell her or not, so she could only prevaricate like this.

Aguda was a loyal and honest person. Since the girl in white warned him to keep it secret, Tangning had no intention of embarrassing him. She wanted to know what was going on, so she said, "I'm going to see the God of Death first."

After saying that, he went straight into the palace, walked to the stone steps, saluted the girl in white and said: "Lord God of Death, I have something to report to you. Meng Yuan just sent people here, saying that the Eastern Region, Southern Region, and Western Region heard After receiving the news that you conquered the Northern Territory, we are all a little restless. There have been frequent personnel transfers in the Eastern Territory, Southern Territory, and Western Territory recently. It is said that the three lords have met in the Southern Territory City to discuss how to deal with us. ”

"Don't worry about this. I'm going out in a few days. Xiao Ningzi, you come with me."

"Yes. Lord Death God, where are we going from here?"

"Western Region."

"Western Regions? I just met Aguda, and he told me that you sent him to the Western Regions to investigate something. Could it be related to this matter?"

"I found a few mice with their heads and tails exposed." The girl in white said calmly.

A mouse hiding its head but showing its tail, what does this mean? Tangning asked in confusion, "What do you mean by mice?"

"Since the death of the ancient Space Dao Ancestor, the space channels connecting various interfaces in the immortal world have collapsed, resulting in the practitioners in each interface being unable to ascend to the immortal world for millions of years. These practitioners who have reached the ascension realm are not willing to sit down and die, so He cut off his physical body and used the body of his soul to go to the abandoned place, hiding there to withstand the impact of the passage of time and keep his soul alive. "

The more Tangning listened, the more surprised she became. In an abandoned place that could withstand the passage of time, there could be such a magical place in the world. This was completely beyond his knowledge.

"Lord Death God, what exactly is the abandoned place you are talking about? Could it be that it is in the Western Region of the Dead Realm?"

The girl in white said: "The Abandoned Land is a special space created by the Ancient Space Dao Ancestor. It was originally created to fight against the Time Dao Ancestor. The Space Dao Ancestor and the Time Dao Ancestor are the two oldest and most powerful gods in the immortal world, and they secretly compete with each other. Countless years.”

"Jian Dao Ancestor controls the original power of the Space Avenue, and Time Dao Ancestor controls the original power of the Time Avenue. Space and time are the two most primitive and powerful forces of heaven and earth, and both are indispensable."

"Almost all interfaces in the world are under their control. In order to resist the power of time, the ancient space Taoist opened up this place."

"That is an extremely special space. It is not within the Three Realms, but jumps out of the Five Elements. Even time cannot affect it, and time there is at a standstill. No matter how the external world changes, no matter what changes occur, there will be no change in the world. In space, everything is still and unchanging.”

"This space was abandoned after it was opened up by the Ancient Space Dao Ancestor. The reason is very simple. It is not a complete world. No living beings can survive in that space. Even the Ancient Space Dao Ancestor himself once said that it is a A failure and named it Abandoned Place.”

"Before the death of the Ancient Space Dao Ancestor, he went to the abandoned land and transformed it. No one knows what happened during that time, not even me. Maybe the Time Dao Ancestor knows the inside story, but its actions have always been unpredictable. "

"Outsiders only know that the Ancient Space Dao Ancestor disappeared after transforming that space and has not appeared since."

"As the space passages between the fairy world and various interfaces collapsed one after another, the news of the death of the ancient space Taoist came out."

"After the ancient space Taoist ancestors transformed the abandoned land, although it still cannot accommodate living creatures, it has become a place where the soul can live forever. As long as the body is abandoned, the body of the soul can live in that space forever."

"Due to the collapse of the space passages between the fairy world and each interface, cultivators in the Ascension Realm of each interface ran away to the Abandoned Land. Those mice in the Western Region ran out of the Abandoned Land."
